LONDON TERROR COMING. AMERICA NEXT?
J. Grant Swank, Jr.
Scotland Yard lives under a dark cloud of sleeper cell explosions that will kill and maim.
Authorities believe that the threat is definitely real. It’s simply a matter of time.
Terrorist communications to one another have been read by authorities. These Muslim slayers are specifying where to strike and who to level.
Interestingly enough, in the media dispatch the word “Muslim” is not used once. How blind is the politically correct media. Does this not communicate their own fear of the foe? Surely. And it says the authorities feel weak in light of Islamic plots.
Will America escape such an onslaught? Hardly.
There are sleeper cells throughout the nation as well as Muslim killer camps training Islamic devotees how to slit the throats of infidels. Homeland Security knows this in detail. Yet when Homeland Security is contacted by grassroots, no replies. Could Homeland Security side up to terrorist sleeper cells?
Add to this the Marxist Muslim and wife seated in the White House. They were brainwashed against “white values” and Jews (“monkeys” and “pigs” labeled them by Jeremiah Wright, cultic leader of Trinity United Church of Christ) over twenty years.
Michelle promises that the United States will change its “conversation, history and traditions.” To what? To Islamic World Rule, of course.

Why has the Fort Hood massacre been gagged?
Why are 9 / 11 murderers’ trial staged in Manhattan?
Why is Muslim Obama late in supporting US troops in Afghanistan?
Why does Muslim Obama not produce his birth certificate?
Why is Ramadan celebrated in the White House but Christmas practically blanked out?
Why is “health care” rivaling the Empire State Building in stack size, confusing the public, sneaking in sabotage? What’s going on with Medicare, doctor-patient relations, and so forth?
Once terrorists set loose in the United States, genuine patriots will shoot off their revolution to oust the White House liars and the Congresspersons stroking Oval Office deceitful schemers.
“Scotland Yard has warned businesses in London to expect a Mumbai-style attack on the capital.
“In a briefing in the City of London 12 days ago, a senior detective from SO15, the Metropolitan police counter-terrorism command, said: ‘Mumbai is coming to London.’
“The detective said companies should anticipate a shooting and hostage-taking raid ‘involving a small number of gunmen with handguns and improvised explosive devices’.
“The warning — the bluntest issued by police — has underlined an assessment that a terrorist cell may be preparing an attack on London early next year. It was issued by the Met through its network of ‘security forums”’ which provide business leaders, local government and the emergency services with counter-terrorism advice” per The London Times.

MUSLIM OBAMA, IT’S TIME FOR A REVOLUTION
J. Grant Swank, Jr.
Wait till Marxist Muslim Barack Hussein Obama’s henchmen step in between your doctor and you.
Wait till they tell your doctor how to doctor.
Wait till you have to bow down to DC crook
liars headed by Chief Liar in order to learn what med tests you can have.
Wait till you wait to learn from Allah devotee what prescriptions you can get and how much they will overcost.
Wait till you have to wait for three or four years for a pacemaker as my friend in Canada had to wait—put on the notorious “wait list.”
Wait till your Medicare is cut in to so that you no longer get the proper oversight as an elder citizen.
Wait till your Medicare is doled out across the nation to whomever so that you learn how to “sacrifice for the whole.”
Wait till your social security check is sliced into for the same macabre doctrine from Koran reading Obama and czar shadow government.
Wait till you’re put in jail because you can’t count out the bucks to pay up on health insurance.
Wait till your taxes go up because of Obama’s “health care” come to America.
Wait till your premiums shoot through the black of night.
Wait till you discover that communism has come to the United States, defining your every breath, dictating your every move.
Wait till Obama and Muslim cohorts give the signal for Allah’s sleeper cells to break out to engulf your neighborhoods. And you thought they were genuinely friendly. Did you not
know that Allah teaches to appear friendly, then kill?

Wait till Obama proceeds to behead the Republic with puppet Congressmen playing traitor.
Wait till apostate clergy pronounce Islam America’s new religion in the name of diversity, “In God We Trust” wiped off everything it now graces.
Wait till “health care” becomes The Boy’s rationale for moving out further and further, close to the bone of your very existence, lynching your every freedom.
Wait till abortion creeps right back into “health care” to satisfy those bloodthirsty for unborn children’s bodies flipped into dumpsters and more dumpsters.
This will occur quite quickly for Obama the evil one does not wait. If he wants something for Islam World Rule, he threatens.
Remember how he threatened those balking on “health care”? Remember how he dictated and they wilted?
Then flipping the coin, he put down the threats to promise the vault, and they got it.
With all that from hell’s canyons, grassroots will be singing “Peace on Earth, Goodwill to Men” this Christmas—in their hearts.
But in their leg muscles, they’ll feel the revolution start. And it will start over there. And then over here. And then in the middle. And then from coast to coast.
Those who have tasted democracy, breathing it in their lungs every day of their lives, delighting in its blessings, will never succumb to the Islamic tyrant and wife.
They will revolt.
They will slap around the henchman at their doctor’s door.
They will trip the henchman standing at their prescription counter.
They will threaten—rightfully so—the tax man, the IRS, the White House front doors, the Congressional offices.
And it will never stop until the Muslim is thrown out—and his disciples with him.

NELSON’S PRO-LIFE SLIP THRU CRACK = BAD THING
J. Grant Swank, Jr.
Pro-life Senator Ben Nelson left a slip-up in his bow to Dems on the “health care” flop.
“Conservative Republicans and the National Right to Life Committee criticized.
“Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Mich., who pushed through the restrictions in the House-passed bill, rejected Nelson’s deal.
“He called it ‘not acceptable’ because it ‘would allow the federal government to subsidize insurance policies with abortion coverage.’
“He said he intends to keep working to find a solution that would allow him to ultimately vote for the health care bill” per the AP.
“’. . .subsidize insurance policies with abortion coverage.’”
There you have it—the devil’s intrusion. And it will grow from a slither to a gaping Grand Canyon mouth-to-hell killing womb babies.
If Dems want to benefit the country, do what Dr. Howard Dean says. Start all over with all persons having input on health care, not shutting out Republicans, but opening it to all.
Liar Marxist Muslim Barack Hussein Obama professed transparency when running with Allah to the Oval Office.
His regime is lie-based. This is virtuous for an Islamic per the Koran.
No transparency. All a dictatorship. Bury the Republicans. Enthrone the White House and wife messianic duo while playing tyrant over kiss-up Dems in Congress.
There you define true democracy. Not.
And now Nelson gets a barrel full of Christmas goodies while appearing totally pro-life. But there is that horrific slip-through that will be taken advantage of to the nth degree.

FOOTNOTE: THE BIBLE AND ABORTION
It is alarming to realize the nonchalance on the part of many concerning abortion. But it is not new. A popular newsmagazine quoted one medical opinion: “Abortion is finding its place as a perfectly acceptable and valid health measure. We no longer think of it as a crime.”
There are those who say that every woman has a right to control her own body. That is true. Then, having control over her own body, she should not become pregnant if she does not want children. That is control! When she becomes pregnant, then she has lost her control over that situation.
But more importantly, only God has final rights to any person’s body. He brought that body into life and someday will take that body out of life. In the meantime He provides the very sustaining power for the body’s life to continue.
The Bible speaks of a fetus as a person, not simply tissue that can be discarded if found to be a bother or nuisance. Since the fetus is a person from the moment of conception, then the destroying of the fetus is killing a person.
“In the past, some people have mistakenly speculated that perhaps the body might be in the process of formation for some time, and then ‘God breathes a soul into it.’ They had it backward. The life that is present forms matter into a body for itself’” (Joseph Breig, “Life Forms Matter,” The Catholic News, Jan. 24, 1974, p. 8).
“Your hands shaped me and made me. Will you now turn and destroy me? Remember that you molded me like clay. Will you now turn me to dust again? Did you not pour me out like milk … and knit me together with bones and sinews? You gave me life and showed me kindness, and in your providence watched over my spirit” (Job 10:8-12 NIV).
“Before I was born the LORD called me; from my birth he has made mention of my name...and now the LORD says--he who formed me in the womb to be his servant...” (Isaiah 49:1, 5).
“The word of the LORD came to me, saying, ‘Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations’” (Jeremiah 1:4-5).
In the following passages we note that personality is ascribed to the unborn.
“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that fully well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be” (Psalm 139:13-16).
“Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from him” (Psalm 127:3).
Exodus 21:22-25 relates how Israel was to judge a circumstance relating to the death of the unborn:
“If men who are fighting hit a pregnant woman and she gives birth prematurely but there is no serious injury, the offender must be fined whatever the woman’s husband demands and the court allows. But if there is serious injury, you are to take life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, wound for wound, bruise for bruise.”
All of the latter deals with unintentional hurt that comes to a pregnant woman; how much more will divine penalty come upon those who intentionally discard the fetus? The Gospel of Luke ascribes personality to the fetus within Elizabeth:
“When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit… As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy” (1:41, 44).
Mere tissue does not leap for joy; only personhood leaps for joy. The Bible regards the fetus as having personality. In Galatians, Paul speaks of himself as a person while still in his mother’s womb, but more a person consecrated by God for a holy mission (compare Jeremiah 1:5 for the same accent):
“But when God, who set me apart from birth, and called me by his grace, was pleased to reveal his Son in me so that I might preach him among the Gentiles...” (Gal. 1: 15-16).
Since the Bible regards the fetus as personality, then the aborting of the fetus is murdering personality.
Some verses from Scripture dealing with murder are then appropriate for study, such as Genesis 9:6: “Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made man.” Also, read Exodus 23:7: “Have nothing to do with a false charge, and do not put an innocent or honest person to death, for I will not acquit the guilty.” Note I Peter 4:15: “If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer...”
If the Republic returned to the biblical definition of personhood, we would defend every womb child.
John Adams said the following:
“Our Constitution was made only for a religious and moral people. It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other.”
Andrew Jackson said the following:
“The BIBLE is the rock on which our Republic rests.”
Daniel Webster:
“If we abide by the principles taught in the BIBLE, our country will go on prospering.”
“For all the talk of freedom and self-determination, the abortion movement is at its heart a movement denying rights to a silent segment of humanity and soliciting public sanction, support and subsidy to its own cause” (Donald P. Shoemaker, ABORTION, THE BIBLE AND THE CHRISTIAN, Hayes Publishing Co., 1976, p. iv).
